A story from "The Demon Haunted World". Also the simplest way to understand the skeptical mindset and critical thinking.

Happy Birthday, Carl! Thanks for the inspiration.

    How could you test that it really works? How about if we turn the Ouija board 180 degrees without the participants knowing?

    Try a blinded test with your friends. Blindfold them, present them with the board, then rotate it before they start.

    You might want to read more about ideomotor response.

  • @unkhl3 Wow, did you even watch the video? The video isn't trying to prove that God doesn not exist, its saying that if you believe in something without any testable means at all to support the claim, weather it be God or an invisable dragon in your garage, then there is something wrong with you.

    Personally, I'd go a step further and say that these people are slowing down the progress and intellect of the human species and I'd like it if they kept their delusions to themselves or fucked off.

  • @TytuboS

    There are an infinite number of things you could believe in. How should we choose what to believe and what to reject?

    I care that what I believe is true and take care to guard myself against comforting delusions.

  • Am I the only one that saw the dragon.....?

  • At least my dragon in my nonexistent garage is an invisible GREEN dragon. Green dragons are the most elusive kind you can find.

  • @mvan4310 The content, yeah, but I was talking about c0n's voice.

  • @givememyleg This is Carl Sagan

  • You seriously have the best voice on Youtube. And hey, you're welcome, for watching (and listening).

  • @BlacklightPropaganda

    You sound like someone who could profit from reading the goddamn book this video was read from.

    Go ahead and get Demon Haunted World. Chop chop.

  • and this is exactly why people saying "you cant prove god doesnt exist" is in my opinion, completley invalid

  • @joshacio something can come from nothing. read into quantum mechanics and educate yourself and close yet another door that you use to assume a god must exist.

  • @strangestdude

    Yes!

  • @C0nc0rdance Thanks, I love your channel BTW. Is the Richard Feymann religion and science vid up for grabs too?
